Will A Beard Grow Back and Look the Same After Facelift Surgery?

My shaving instructions for a man are fairly simple: do not shave for 24 hours prior to a procedure.  A mustache dos not have to be shaved, but a beard should be shaved up to the jawline (not above it).  This allows for easier identification of anatomic boundaries. I ask men to shave with an electric razor starting at 1 week after surgery.  Since a Facelift involves repositioning of hair bearing skin, men must be aware that shaving closer to and slightly behind the ear will be a part of the postoperative result.

Mens beards generally grow back the same.  The sideburns may be altered and hair in front of and behind the ear may be closer to the ear itself
